Days to Remember

A friend did a nice post with photos and the words to a favorite old song by 10,000 Maniacs.  I like the thought that these are "Days to Remember."
After Jared's walk to the park with the kids
Winter/Spiderman came to play...
Yea when they love salad!

First Derby

Michael did a good job in the heat of cub scout competition.  Grandpa helped shape the car with his sander.  I helped Michael choose a design, paint, getting the wheels on, and add weight at the last minute.  And dad helped a lot too.  Next year we'll know what we're doing a little more and maybe enjoy it a little more too.  :)

Springtime Family Visits

Fun at Grandma's -- We don't get over there enough.

We got to have cousins stay at our house on their visit.
Ella had a birthday and the girls painted nails and beaded necklaces. 
Tessa was in her element!  

These ladies have superpowers.  Really.


  I don't know why my sisters vacuum and clean
when they come visit my house....
   

Renee is helping me get a garden started.  
We are taking out the sod in the corner of the yard and moving it to the 
side where the weeds have prevailed.  It is very motivating to me to see 
the dirt and weeds replaced with grass that I can easily mow!  




Leisel gets to be outside now much more after her first long winter.  
But it's still hard to get things done and keep her happy.  
Thank goodness for Renee's help! 

Jared's family came for dinner and to deliver some things in the truck.  :)  
After visiting there was more visiting outside.  
Teresa called it "Truck Talk."

      More time in the truck with cousins in Garland
